anybody know a good android map app that would allow me to add pins like google maps does and also make notes for each pin? I would like to use it for marking down good fishing spots I find and recommended by friends. it would be great if it was geared toward fishing but any general map app will do fine. it's really stupid google maps is missing this feature. seems like it would be common sense to include it.
thanks

Hey Gang,
Is there a plugin/overlay for google maps that will map where I have been. Be great when I am in the woods on my ATV
Hi There
Almost any/every gps application can record you route which you just then import into google earth.... It's just a matter of finding which one you prefer from the many hundreds of apps available.

I've used trackme and really like it. There are threads on here of his. Here's his website. You can download trips or make your own server and view it there.

You may also want to have a look at NaviComputer, in this same forum.
I agree
I have to agree that Navicomputer is the best general tracker. It may lack some of the more advanced features but is very quick and creating maps for it is very simple. Also you can create Open Street Maps and Virtual Earth Satellite maps. Out of all the programs I've tried, and I've tried a few (GPS Tuner, Navicomputer, Pathway) this is the best.
I have tried this one and it generates the kml for google earth

Try this BackCountry Navigator :good:
Since when does/can a unit based on Windows Mobile run an Android app, as this is the case with BackCountry Navigator ???
I tried searching but no app for Android. (other than the one by google)
I think the google voice app by google inc is good. But i just wish it had a character count. It messes up the texts when you go over 160 and it sends it as multiple and they dont even arrive in the right order to the destination.
Also i wish it wouldn't hang every once in a while when i press send. It's like its trying to send but it just hangs there. wish they could fix that. A timer there would be nice. I have to stop it by using task manager.
And be able to use have themes.
If there is an app that could replace the current that would be cool. If anyone knows of one that works just post me a link. I tried searching but no success..
If there is a mod for the current google app that adds these features that would be awesome. OR if there is a good API to access the google voice. Or a project that is currently being worked on. That would be cool too.
I have been looking for one for a while too, I tired pairing it with text plus and textfree but recent changes have lead to no avail. I guess we can't complain to much for what we are getting but oon the hand textplus is an amazingly beautiful app and I just want that level of design and features from Google, I don't feel it's unfair to look for Google to pick up their game. If any one knows of anything please post, I feel like a lot of people would appreciate it.
AFAIK Google does not have any API's for Voice, which is why you can't find anyone aside from Google with an app. One thing a lot of people don't realized is that just because Google made Android open source, doesn't mean they have to make all the apps for it open source also.
Is there anywhere we can go to request the release of an API or at least a redesign of the app?
I hope the title makes sense? I currently use the task list use LorSoft
Edit: So sick of this 8 post limit cannot post outside URLs business - is there exceptions for longtime lurkers
And it is great and it handles things well for the moment, but there are some things missing that I feel need addressing. Like for one the pull down notifications are just not up to scratch for a productivity tool. Meaning they are too easily forgotten about or cleared in amoungst the jargon of other notifications. I need toast and a persistent toast notification that won't clear unless say I check completed or something like that? The icons in this app, sorry to the developer are dismal, outdated and sorry but they are just plain crapola. Theres no capacity to change the theming of this app or icons for that matter. I was going to pull it appart and re-engineer it for those reasons alone just for my own satisfaction (not to re-distribute or "steel" the developers work)…but then I realised there are other features I would like to incorporate into the design/functionality that surpass what this app is.
What I would really like is a way of bringing this info "synch" to iCalendar (To-Do isn't really a "meetings" schedule or check in check out "availability" type app though?) or a tasklist XML within Gmail for users; enabling users to bring that information in as a feed for an iGoogle Gadget and if possible (even though it is retired now) bring a Gadget into Google Desktop.
I dare say my productivity would be improved with these functions. So far the LorSoft Tasklist App Widget is THE most used application onmy Android phone.
If anyone can recommend alternatives to what I am using that will fill the gaps (on the Android side of things at least) and/or the other side of things iCalendar/Gmail side of things and I can try and figure out how to feed the info into the other tools/gadgets for desktop iGoogle later.
Watching the Ice Cream Sandwich live presentation today was great seeing the calendar and its Gmail integration and sharing capability but it doesn't fullfill the task list or "TO-DO" type function that I need. Its great for visualisation…..but as you can possible sense by now opening the app or seeing what I need to do is the major issue LOL. I need toast…like IN YOUR FACE!
Any developers wana jump on board and brain storm with me on this feel free. I think uptake would be ginormous after seeing comments from Gadget requesters on Google already
I think I may have solved my own issue whilst trying to help someone else out?
Will see how it goes?

I was looking at something similar for productivity....but notes is another thing.
Whiteboard? Or Extensive notes pro. I can't post links yet
I have a thread requesting for a app widget that is a to-do list that exports or synchs to Google/Gmail or iCalendar
EDIT: I think the latest version has the exact functionality that both you and I want?

I noticed that Google latitude is no longer on the Play store. What other good tracking apps do you recommend?
I just need to know where my teenager is for his own safety. We both have Andriod based phones.
Isn't latitude a part of Google maps app? I think you should open maps, tap on the top left and you'll get the latitude option there

So it's official. My friends and family use this almost daily. What are our alternatives?

After reading all comments and requests about this on G+, maybe somebody will be interested in our small app MapTrack. NO registration on third-party servers is needed to manage or share tracks. User shares his track by direct link to people he wants, and manage his tracks in Google Docs. The user has full control of his own data and people follow him in usual browser. Each point of the track has time , location and some other useful info. The app also has an option to record offline tracks. Perfect to stay in touch with your family in real time and your followers don't need G+ or any special app - just internet browser. Give it a try or contact us with any questions:

The absence of intuitive integration of Google Now makes this app a hard sell.
Now is a prescient and useful service, and there is not really a natural way to swipe to it -- leaving those of us who use Now, feeling like a major phone feature has been removed. I have found that attaching invocation to a gesture can help, but I still can't tell whether now notifications will be triggered properly when the Now Launcher isn't running. Can anyone confirm this?

Hi,
Unfortunately we'll never be able to include any Google Now features, as they are owned by Google. You can always add a page on the left and insert a large Google Now widget, as this can serve almost the same service.
